Quantifying the predictability of the timing of jökulhlaups from Merzbacher Lake, Kyrgyzstan
Read more of: Quantifying the predictability of the timing of jökulhlaups from Merzbacher Lake, KyrgyzstanGlacier-dammed lakes can yield subglacial outburst floods (jo¨kulhlaups) repeatedly. Predicting flood timing is crucial for hazard mitigation, but incomplete understanding of flood-initiation physics makes this challenging. Here we examine the […]

Transatlantic migration by post-breeding puffins: a strategy to exploit a temporarily abundant food resource?
Read more of: Transatlantic migration by post-breeding puffins: a strategy to exploit a temporarily abundant food resource?The distribution of Atlantic puffins (Fratercula arctica) from Skellig Michael, south-west Ireland, was investigated using geolocation loggers between the 2010 and 2011 breeding seasons. All tracked birds travelled rapidly west […]

Influence of wintering area on persistent organic pollutants in a breeding migratory seabird
Read more of: Influence of wintering area on persistent organic pollutants in a breeding migratory seabirdAs apex marine predators, seabirds are often sampled to monitor bioaccumulative persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in the marine environment. Despite the restrictions on use and production of many POPs, concern […]
